I've done all sorts of searches on your description and not found a thing that would be what you describe Yadda.
2/ I think it's god telling you, you should take up painting and paint the pic he has put in your mind.
Thanks for looking Setanta. .....and 2/ laugh.
No probs Yadda, just remember
it's the same god that let Islam become the second largest religion on earth with 1/4 of the worlds people following it.
He obviously has a morbid sense of humour.
Setanta,
He created us, and then, He stands aside, and allows us all, to make our own choices in life.Is it cruel, to let the innocent suffer ?
I can see how, and why, many would harshly judge God, and his ways.
I do not. .....i trust Him. .....the result, is the peace in my heart.
Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Then how the hell can you see him as also an interfering god? Setanta,
How ? you ask.
'interfering' ?
You have a
conscience.
Every man, and every woman, does.
The spirit of God will speak to us, in our conscience.
An 'advisor'.
If we take no notice of our 'advisor',
he will withdraw.
And then, we will stop getting advice, from our 'conscience'.

A personal god that intervenes on your behalf?
I get it, he works in mysterious ways.
We have a guardian angel,
all of us do.
The spirit of God gives power [or NOT] to our 'guardian angel' [to act on our behalf]. ....it is what i believe.
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
When i was a teenager, and my situation in life was quite vulnerable ['unprotected'], two separate instances,
two people who threatened harm to me, [i learned] they both died.
Not at my hand !
One was a suicide.
But these were not an act of God ?
No, maybe not. [.....how can a suicide be an act of God ?]
Can't prove it was.
And i know it is very presumptuous to assert/suggest that i was protected, then.
Will God protect me now ?
I'll die. ....all flesh will die.
Does God say that he will protect [certain people] ?
Psalms 50:14
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
God, talking about his own people, 'O Israel'....
Isaiah 43:3
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
Psalms 73:1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Some people believe.
Some people do NOT believe. ....except what they can see with their very own eyes.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Numbers 12:3
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
